OK, that got my attention.  In particular, this entry:

http://www.tfosorcim.org/archives/000308.html

What you noted there gives you a bit of credibility in my eyes. 
Hopefully, you will get a chance at some point to give the Atom 
specification as thorough of a reading.

Meanwhile, I'll suggest the following as a place to start the 
conversation on your original question (as reflected in the subject line):

Many of the specifics (example: syntax of link elements) have changed 
since that time, but the issues that motivated each change still remain.
